Toronto, ON – Toronto– based father-son design duo announced their return to the runway to present the CARAS, Stephan Caras Spring/Summer 2018 collection on Wednesday, October 4 at 8 p.m. at Toronto Women’s Fashion Week. Caras’ newest collection stays true to its philosophy of design, continually inspired by femininity and sensuality while offering an elegant and enticing exposé of dramatic lines, trailing lengths and plenty of volume.

The emphasis of this season’s collection is placed on the use of luxurious textures, sophisticated lines and exquisite detailing. Plunging neck lines, asymmetric treatments and fun flirty contours connect to create dramatic silhouettes. The collection seduces through the use of bold colour palettes in floral and blush undertones. It is inspired by opulence and femininity.

“Our Spring/Summer 2018 collection is inspired by women who enjoy a touch of drama in their outfits, demonstrating their individuality and sensuality,” said designer Stephan Caras. “This bold collection is a fashion forward statement and an ode to the strength of confident women.”

“Our philosophy has always been to create collections that are feminine and sensual. For Spring/Summer 2018 we showcase a beautiful palette of pastels that emphasize opulence. Sleek shapes achieve a balance between elegance and drama.” added co-designer Kyriako Caras.

Signature CARAS gowns made of luxurious floral lace reign in a fluttering palette of floral undertones, while evening wear parades dramatic appliques, flowing chiffons, opulent embroideries, and form fitting silhouettes. The collection celebrates drama and shows that a woman can have fun, and be elegant and sensual all over again.
